To manually create an Unlock Key switch to the TAB Keys, Unlock Key with Copy Protection
If the product should be unlocked with copy protection, select Unlocking with Copy Protection instead. Unlocking without Copy Protection will just protect the content, but the user could copy the product and use it on multiple PCs.
You have to open the project before you can create an Unlock Key. This is necessary as every project has a different encryption to ensure, that an Unlock Key from product A cannot be used on product B.
After pressing the button Generate Key, the key including the extended description is copied into the text box. It is also copied into the clipboard. The content of the text box can be saved to a file with the button Save generated keys to file.
If you have unchecked - Remove time limitation after Unlock Key is applied you will get 2 keys. Both keys have to be applied.
Send the Unlock Key to the customer who will use the key in the screen Enter Unlock Key.
